EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Ulysses at the Table of Circe" we are transported into the realm of Greek mythology and literature. The renowned artist John Flaxman, known for his classical style, brings to life a scene from Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey". At the center of the image stands Ulysses (Odysseus), a figure burdened with grief and sorrow. He sits silently at Circe's table, surrounded by mythical creatures and enchanting elements that symbolize both danger and temptation. Flaxman masterfully captures Ulysses' internal struggle as he contemplates his next move in his arduous journey home. His heart heavy with mourning for lost companions and longing for his homeland, Ulysses remains resolute in his quest despite being trapped by Circe's spell. The composition exudes a mournful atmosphere as Ulysses ponders over past trials while contemplating future challenges that lie ahead. This print serves as an evocative reminder of the timeless themes found within classical literature - resilience in adversity, the power of perseverance, and the importance of staying true to one's purpose. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we cannot help but be captivated by its beauty and depth. It invites us to delve into ancient tales filled with heroism and tragedy while reminding us that even in our own modern lives, there is much wisdom to be gained from these enduring classics
